Sometimes the numbers tell you all you need to know.
Texas A&M defensive lineman Daylon Mack let the numbers do the talking with a chart that he posted to his Twitter account on Tuesday:
Hmmmm take a look at whose at the bottom of this chart…. Not surprising #ImJustSaying pic.twitter.com/LM2jCMJw74

The conference he’s referring to at the bottom of the chart is the Big 12, which was the home to the Aggies and Missouri prior to the SEC expansion in 2012.
But take away the thinly veiled shot at the league that houses Texas for just a minute and absorb those numbers as raw data.
While the SEC’s numbers are down from 2013’s incredible numbers, the league is still producing more pro talent than any other Power 5 conference, and it really isn’t even that close.
